In a place built on appearances, what happens when the truth washes ashore?
Eva is ready for a new beginning. After a difficult year for their family, her husband’s prestigious new job offers the perfect a summer in Nantucket Shores, an exclusive beachside enclave where company families spend golden months in shingled cottages by the sea.
With island breezes, barefoot barbecues, and children playing under endless skies, it feels like a dream come true.
But the illusion soon shatters when Eva’s husband is the victim of a hit-and-run on Cliff Road. As he recovers in the island hospital, unanswered questions—and quiet suspicions—begin to surface. Nantucket locals view the corporate summer transplants with resentment. The polished company wives have their own cliques and secrets. And though the island radiates charm, Eva feels more adrift than ever.
Then mysterious acts of kindness begin to appear; small, thoughtful gestures that suggest someone is watching out for her family. At first, Eva clings to the idea of a guardian angel. But as the support becomes too precise, too personal, she begins to is this generosity ... or guilt?
Surrounded by whispers, isolation, and unraveling trust in their Nantucket idyll, Eva must confront not only what happened to her husband, but difficult truths she’s kept buried, even from herself.

it was fine. story was pretty good
But needed proof reading for spelling and grammatical errors. I liked that it was a mystery without too much tension.

surprise ending
Lots of twists and turns. The storyline keeps you wanting more. Real emotions feel real and heart wrenching. Worth the read!

Honestly I did not finish this book- it certainly could have used more proofreading. Spelling errors and too many over the top descriptive sentences
